Hi all,
The October 2020 application form is now open, it will list your respective remaining subjects, in my case that's three, and includes Tort, which I had sat in August. I think for many of us, a decision will have to be made whether to focus on other subjects for the October sitting, (in the hope you pass the August sitting), the alternative is to keep studying for a subject you may have passed, which inevitably, will be a determent to your study for other subjects. Its essentially a gamble. I cannot understand, how the law society think that such a situation is acceptable, potentially you could fail the August sitting, apply to sit the October sitting, and then pass on a recheck from August, even though you've sat the October exam. Its an absolute mess!
You cannot expect students, on one weeks notice (Tort), or 2.5 weeks notice (EU) in exam week to adapt, these are professional exams as we all know, and the law society itself is showing very little respect for that.
What are peoples general conscientious? Is it worth applying again now for an exam you may have passed in August?, or concentrate on other subjects, I find the lack of certainty difficult, and, just hope that some common sense can enter the building at Blackhall place, and that the law society acknowledge the difficulties that have arisen. For clarification, I'm not an advocate for the changing of October exam dates, however an extra sitting for Tort and EU in my opinion is the only amicable solution. I hope the study is going well for you all!

I sat tort in August having applied to do it in March. I won’t be applying to sit it in October I’ve resigned myself to just leaving it till next March if I have failed. I don’t have time to add it in now and I haven’t looked at it since the start of August and now really need to just focus on the ones I know I’m doing in October!!0 -

I sat tort in August but didn’t think it went well so will be applying to sit in October. If by some miracle I passed, I guess I will see if they’ll give me a refund???0 -
